## Description

DBT Diary Card is an iPhone app designed by a licensed, DBT-trained psychologist. Version 3.0 highlights include graphing data over time, on-device PDF viewing, daily reminders, and password protection to keep your diary private.

It combines the three core parts of DBT—reference manual, behavior tracker, and skills coach—into one on-device app. Key features include a large library of DBT skills, emotion and behavior tracking, coaching for skill selection, complete customization, 911 skills, PDF generation, and secure sharing with your therapist (email). Telephony features require an iPhone with voice service.

## Review summary

User reviews describe a buggy app: crashes on launch or during use, and diary entries often don’t save correctly, requiring reopening. Calendar date navigation is unreliable and some screens go blank. Email export and support are nonfunctional, and data exports are inaccessible. Several reviews note a lack of updates for years, raising compatibility concerns with newer iOS versions. A few users praise the DBT content and the PDF export feature, but bugs largely dominate feedback.

### Pros

- Clear and useful DBT skills training content.
- PDF diary/report export feature to share with your therapist.
- Well-organized diary/card structure that some users find easier to navigate.
- No in-app purchases (no upsell pressure) mentioned by users.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes on startup or during use.
- Entries often don't save or reflect changes unless the app is reopened.
- Calendar/date navigation issues (selecting a date can open the prior day; some date-related UI elements may go blank).
- Email export and support are nonfunctional (email server not responding, export failures, support link issues).
- App appears outdated with little to no updates for years, raising compatibility concerns with newer iOS versions.
